SynopsisThis inspirational story recounts how "Walker, Texas Ranger" star Chuck Norris overcame abject poverty; how he survived his father's alcoholism and desertion of the family; and how he faced such obstacles as his own shyness and lack of strength and ability early in life. 16-page, four-color insert., Norris describes himself as a shy youth who finally blossomed while studying martial arts as a soldier in South Korea. His self-deprecating humor shows through anecdotes about karate defeats, white-knuckled speaking engagements, and his failure to become a Los Angeles policeman, which led to his fame as a karate champion., The complete life story of the martial arts expert and star of "Walker Texas Ranger," CBS's longest-running television series.

  • Chuck Norris !

    The author, Chuck Norris, tells about his beginning interest in the martial arts. Later, with the goading of Steve McQueen, he further tried acting and became successful at this as well. Along the way he sprinkles in some Zen and compelling life experiences in a very down-to-Earth kind of way. Best of all, he gives thanks to God for guidance in his life.

  • I read the whole book in two days! I'm a fast reader,but I tore through this book because it was so interesting! I knew Chuck Norris is a good person

    but I saw a side I didn't realize was there. He has a God-given empathy to how he treats people and they in turn treat him the same way. Many blessings to him and his family and may he continue to do what he does best...help people!

  • Wonderful! What more can i say?

    It's a great book! The entire family enjoys this one! There were some things that we were actually surprised to read about. Personally, I had no idea how many teens and children that Mr. Norris helped. He is truly a wonderful person.
